From: Quantitative stain-free imaging and digital profiling of collagen structure reveal diverse survival of triple negative breast cancer patients

Fig. 3

The extracted numerical collagen structural parameters are relevant with DCIS association. a ATC and DTC CAR are significantly higher in patients with positive DCIS association compared with those with no DCIS association. b ATC and DTC CFD are increased in patient samples with positive DCIS association. The CAR and CFD results indicate that the collagen may form a stronger protective barrier surrounding the tumor nests. c DTC CFL significantly increases for patients with DCIS associations. d ATC CFT and DTC CFT significantly differed between patients with DICS associations and those with no DCIS associations. Error bars represent SE of the mean. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.0, ***p < 0.001, and >***p < 0.0001, with comparisons indicated by lines. p values calculated using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD test
